So Sad

Night shift for Nurse Reba

Reba is so worried about Dexter, her buddy.  We are too.  He has his new medication now, but he is likely to be pretty out of it for a week.  A few  hours he seems a little brighter (if unstable or disoriented.) It takes time to adjust..  Today he had breakfast, water, and a few hours out on the front yard and, for a few hours seemed awake, but not very alert.

Afternoon naps in the shade

He didn't want dinner tonight, so dad got out a can of Vienna Sausages, that he usually shares with Dexter so we managed to get his pills in and a nice drink of pumpkin water with a little diluted chicken broth.  Now he is tucked in for the night while we stand at the kitchen sink, to hold each other and cry, hoping for the best.

Reba girl seems to take after our first girl corgi who was named Abbey Ennis Puddinchin.  We called her Nurse Abbey because she was so tender when anyone felt bad or was sick.  When we adopted Reba Bo Beba, she inherited Abbey's blue and pink collar and has faithfully filled the vacancy that Abbey left.
